More about this scene
The artist Helen Allingham (1848-1926) lived for seven years during the 1880s at nearby Sandhills. A number of her sought-after country cottage pictures are of buildings in the Witley area. She painted the original cottages on this site just before they were pulled down amid much outcry in 1885, and replaced by these mock-Tudor buildings.

My biggest problem was to keep the newspapers dry before delivery on wet mornings. In return my great customers offered hot cocoa drinks on cold days. What a lucky lad!!, Mike Phillips

They gave the Chichester Hall to the village in 1937. My father, born in a home at the top of Station Hill next to the Petworth road, had worked for Mrs Chichester (J and P Coats family) since the early 20's. Like my father ...see more
